LONDON: WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 28, 1838, ARRIVAL OF LORD DURHAM. The Inconstant arrived yesterday at Plymouth, with Lord DURHAM. We have received by the Overland Mail from India, which has arrived this morning via Marseilles, intelli gence from India, which will be found in another place. The preparations for the opening of the cam paign were going on, but some change in its direction is indicated. An intended interview which the GOVERNOR-GENERAL was to have had with RIJN JEET SINGII is said to have been given up, and the troops are not to pass through his country. Many doubts are expressed whether he may be relied on, and whether it rill not be necessary to direct th e troops a ga i ns t hi m . A wr i ter in the English man and Military Chronicle, published at Cal cutta on the 18th of September, implies that R urr- JEET is prepared to try conclusions with us in the field, and that he is at the head of a great com bination into which Persia, Russia, Nepaul. and Bur -rnah have entered to overthrow the power of England. RUNJEET is at length distrusted, it is said, by the GOVERNOR-GENERAL ; and it is certain that the troops are not to march through his territory. Whether he is more afraid of our taking possession of it, or our people are afraid of his treacherously attacking them, we are not prepared to say ; but the doubts of his infi delity, which have before been expressed, and ~Whi c h are now strengthened, complicate very much the state of affairs in India. It is stated, we have heard, by the highest living authorities, that it would be little less than madness to march the flower of our Indian army to Caboul, and leave India exposed to tfle,iptrigue s and machinations of the native Princes, most-of -whom natu rally indisposed to our superiority, have been of late ex cited against us by the promises and intrigues of Rus sia. On the whole, we are induced to think that the news by this mail is such as will not recommend the pro posed military movements in India to the approbation of the public. We must add, that all the letters, as we are in formed by a Correspondent, superscribed via Mar seilles, whether registered to the care of Mr. WAG HORN or not, reached London at one and the same time, so that the public is not exclusively indebted to Mr. WAGHORN'S agency for the transmission o them, but to the care of the Post-office authorities. 'he barbarous proceedings of the Ecclesiastical authorities in the case of Mr. CHILDS, by which that gentleman was torn from the bosom of his family, and, though labouring under a dangerous disorder, thrown into a dungeon to expiate the enormous crime of re fusing to pay 17s. 6d. in support of a system of wor ship which he deems contrary to Scripture, are still fresh in the recollection of the public. A similar display of the tender mercies of the Church to those who do not submit themselves implicitly to the demands of their " spiritual pastors and masters" in this matter of Church-ratesis, it is said, about to be afforded at Leicester. It appears from a statement in the Leicestershire Mercury, of Saturday last, that a Mr. BAINEs of that town has been cited to appear in the Eccles,astical Court in consequence of his non payment of Church -rates. If he do not appear in the Common Hall, Doctors' Commons, within six days of the service of the citation, he is guilty of " contu macy," arid to prison he must go. We wish the per secutors may not falter in their course. We sin cerely hope they may have pluck enough to carry on the proceedings in the same spirit in which they have commenced them. Mr. CHILDS' cruel imprisonment was of in finite service to the opponents of Church rates. Before that event the cause languished ;it then revived with new vigour, and a well organized plan of agitation was formed which has been acted upon ever since, with such success that the abolition of the " nefarious exaction," as the Times justly de scribed it, is no longer a matter of doubt. If Mr. BAINES have sufficient nerve to imitate the excellent example of Mr. CHILDS, and to set the sur pliced exactors at defiance, a new stimulus will be given to the agitation, and new converts will flock to the standard of abolition, inscribed as it is with peace, justice, and liberty. It gives us great pleasure to find that the Dissenters of Leicester have warmly espoused Mr. BAINES' Cause, and are determined to support him to the ut most. This is only what it is their duty to do, and Dot their duty alone, but that of every man in Leicester who duly values the rights of conscience, and who hates injustice and oppression, things detestable at all times, but never so much so as when exemplified in the conduct of those who pretend to be holier and better than others. We had hardly committed the foregoing remarks to paper when we received from a respected Corres pondent a letter detailing as atrocious a case of cleri cal persecution, as has ever come to our knowledge-, even in these days, when the Clergy seem to have thrown off all the restraints of decency. From this letter—which we have inserted in another column —it appears that a Dissenter has been dragged into the Spiritual Court by the Vicar of his parish, and fined twenty pounds for—what do our readers sup pose ?—for not attending church ! Yes, incredible as it may seem, a Clergyman of the Church of Eng 'and has dared, in defiance of every law divine and human, except the ini qu it ous l a w of a con science-coercing Establishment, to send to prison, where he now lies without hope of release, a fellow-creature, a fellow-Christian —if the perpe trator of such an act can be said to have any fellow ship in Christianity—because he could not, without THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1838. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL !SEWS CITY ( THIS DAY), TWELVE 0' CL 0 C The arrivals this morning are--French and Gibraltar mails, by the Royal Tar ; also a mail from Lisbon, by the above vessel, which sailed from Gibraltar 16th November, Cadiz 17th, Lisbon 20th, and Vigo 22d ; and ship letters from Rio Janeiro. Gibraltar Chronicles to the 16th November have been received, but their contents from the theatre of war in Spain have already been anticipated by the French Papers. The overland express from India, via Marseilles, has arrived. The Nuremberg Correspondent states that several houses of commerce of the first rank at Frankfort, have again been obliged to suspend their payments, owing to their specula tions in the railroads ; also that German houses have ex perienced great losses at Paris. The Inconstant frigate has arrived off Plymouth, with Earl Durham on board, but the strong easterly wind pre vented any communication with her in time for the post. The letters and papers by the England from New York of the Ist inst. have not yet been received. A letter from Vienna. of the 14th November, states that the house of Samuel Haan in that city has suspended pay ment. This news created great sensation on 'Change and among the commercial community. The intelligence from Lisbon is of minor importance. It appears that the Algarve guerillas have experienced three slight checks. We have this moment seen a Bombay paper of the Gth October. It states that active preparations were in pro gress for the approaching campaign on Caboul. The Bengal troops marched from Kurnaul on the Ist October ; the Bombay force were to march as soon as possible to form a corp of observation at Shickarpoor. It was re ported that the Persians had re-invested Herat. LIVERPOOL COTTON -MARKET, Nov. 27.—The demand for Cotton to-day has been to a fair extent, and full prices have been obtained. The sales are 3,500 bags, chiefly American descriptions. THE FUNDS. Consols rather declined in the early part of yesterday, but towards the close of the market Consols rallied again, and left off at 93i 94 for Money, and 94i buyers for the opening. Opaned this morning at the above prices. This is pay-day for the settling of the account yesterday; up to the present time, all is going off well.

For there writs have been found so vexatious, so oppressive, that by the unanimous voic e o f th e Legislature they have been abolished. A Bill for that purpose passed both Houses of Parliament without any opposition—with un i versa l a pp ro b a ti on ; it was cons ducted through the Lords by that eminen t Ne " bleman, Lord a Lyndhurst. Unfortunately, however, for Mr. Selby Lowndes, he is not entitled to die benefit o f the Act. Hi s s it ua ti on is one of unexampled oppression. The writ is brought to recover from him and his family an es tate in the county of Bucks, worth, I understand, between 4,0001. and 5,000/. a year, which has been in his family for sixty years—which was enjoyed by his father—which wa by his father settled upon him at his marriage—which be has settl e d on hi s son ' s marr i age — an d w hi c h h e had hop e to transmit without disturbance to his posterity. The eW at o against him i s b roug ht w i t hi n a f ew h ours o f the expirat ion of the sixty years, which expired on the 6th of Decei t : . ber, 1832, and the claim was made on the sth.

I understand he is a mariner, somewhere in South Val ht If there be the smallest pretence for this claim, it !Mc have been br oug ht f orwar d s i x ty ye ar s ago by various P e sons, under whom this Davis now claims. They themse lv ...s e say that one Er asmus Ll o yd was en titl e d t o the estate 0 why did he not bring his action?—he dies, and makes b 6 claim. His son, J. Lloyd, they say, was next entitledn, lives till 1784 : he dies and makes no claim. Thi a g g'„ Lloyd left three d a u g ht e r s —C a the r i ne , F rance s, and N s ; who all died in 1795 : no claim having been e la by either. It seems Mr s . D a vi s i s alleged to be tejhe daughter of that Catherine Lloyd—born in 1787, ma r till in 1808. No claim is made o n b e h a lf o f M rs . Davis t i 1832. I ask whether this claim is not made under c irel; stances that look very suspicious ?—whether there is ° ire every presumption a ga i ns t it ?—whether it will not retlei„, the most unquestionable, the most clearly satisfactory e s a dente, to substantiate it before the Grand Ass . ze ? In sts e ll of being a claim thus unquestionable in its nature, 15 b fo r show you that, on the contrary, there is not a pretence et " it ; that of all the claims which h a ve been made, it is P", haps the most unfounded. The Learned Attorney-6806 ral proceeded to give a hi s tory o f th e es t a t e till it Se into the hands of the tenant, Mr. Selby Lowndes. 'lO was an attorney—first of Salford, then of Bedford, . o lastly of a place close upon the borders of BuckingbatP si i l l l o and who bought some property, a small p or tion of W the formed a part of that now in dispute. His son wa g i lia celebrated Sergeant Selby, a most e mi ne nt me mber of ea legal profession, who acq u ired a l a r g e f or tu ne , an d pureh s6 o th estate of Wavendon. He had a son, T. J. Selby' se , died a bachelor, and made a will on w hi c h thi s claim sr pd' T. J. Selby knew his relati o n, on hi s mo th er ' s and Vs P e e mother's side. His father married into the Alstonsi ti ps geant Selby having married Mary Alston. And & la s i° the descendant s of the Aistons were a Temperanee cp o . ford, niece of Mary Alston, the wife of S e rgeant s' T. J. Selby also knew his relati o ns o n th e p ar t of P w rs ica ternal grandfather, Selby, the attorney, h av ing P la tist Margaret Wells, from whom th e re were var i ous cornice ,ie ; Jr Ellen, Frances, and Eliz a beth W e ll s .

Bucks, named Lowndes, then a Major in the 13 1 hs Militia. In 1768 T. J. Selby made this will, in whf he ir declared—" I give and devise t o my r i g ht a nd lawfu l t ise' s at-law (for the better finding of'whorn I direct an aav er ns ment to be published in the public papers) a!1 so; o an s l e s- Wavendon, &c., subje c t to th e p a y men t o f all leg a " t siS Various legacies were then bequeathed.

The dates are--Bombay, 6th October ; Madras, 26th September ; and Calcutta, 24th ditto. The programme of the force intended for Caubul had been published by order of the Government, at least so much of it as will consist of the Bengal army; and on the whole the appointments are creditable to the discrimination of our military authoritks. The general rendezvous is fixed at Fetozepoore, which will be the line of or approach to the scene of operations. His Excellency Sir Henry Fane, Commander-in-Chief in India, will command the whole. It is stated that Mr. Macnaghten was to accom pany the army into Caubul, as Civil Commissioner, with a salary of 500 rupees a month, in addition to his 55,000 as Secretary to Government. Much umbrage has, it is said, been given to the Government by the recusancy of Captain Burnet, who will persist in taking the views his ample experience and natural ability present to him of the proposed restoration of Shah Shoojah to the throne on Caubul, in defiance of the ones held by his Lordship. Cap tain Burnes affirms, that of all the race his Lordship's protegee is the vilest, the most despised, and most hated by the Affghan tribes—the most tyrannical, in dolent, and senseless—a coward and a fool. Since the repulse of the Persians from before Herat, the Shah is said to have made some overtures to Shah Kaman, the ruler of the place, with the view of , caving his own character and effecting peace ; but it appears they were indignantly, and in very uncourteous language, rejected by him of Herat. Affairs do not look well as regards the Burmese. Letters from Rangoon, received at Calcutta, state that the Governor of that place had not only declined to return Colonel Benson's visit, but had not sent any °filccr of the Government to attend at his embarka tion for the capital. Dr. Bayfield had bee❑ informed, also, that he would not he permitted to remain at the residency after the departure of Colonel Benson. Therawaddy, it is said, had left the capital in order to avoid our Ambassador. violating his conscience, attend the State-prescribed worship ! The motives which prompted this outpouring of ecclesiastical malignity are not difficult to be found. The Reverend EBENEZER MORRIS, Vicar of Lla nelly, in Carmarthenshire, is, it seems, a rabid Tory, and played a conspicuous part at the last election for the county. The unfortunate Churchwarden, JOHN JAMES, took the opposite side, and voted for the liberal candidate. This was a crime not to be passed over. It was ascertained that JOHN JAMES, being a Dissenter, had failed in his official duty of attending the pious Vicar's hebdomadal ministrations, and for this he is, without further ceremony, handed over to the Ecclesiastical Court of St. David's, the Judge of which is the Rev. DAVID WILLIAMS, unbeneficed Parson, and Editor of a violent Tory Newspaper, called the Carmarthen Journal. By this dignified and disinterested personage the sentence was pro nounced which, as we have already said, consigned the non-conforming Churchwarden to a dungeon. The matter has been, as was to be expected, promptly taken up by the Society for the Abolition of Church rates, by whom it has been submitted to the considera tion of Government. The Common Council of the City of London, ever among the foremost of corporate bodies in stamping an imperishable value upon sterling merit, has fixed to-morrow for taking into consideration the propriety of presenting the freedom of the city to the venerable THOMAS CLARKSON-the now undisputed leader of the vanguard of Negro Emancipation. Happy shall we be to learn that such a testimony of high regard on the part of the citizens of London, has had the effect of eradicating from the mind of one of the purest and most zealous of modern patriots, all sense of the pain inflicted by the publication of the groundless attacks upon his fair fame, made by the sons of WILBERFORCE in their biography of their father. His " Strictures" upon the errors of that work have already been noticed at more than ordinary length in the columns of The Sun; but as they have reached a second edition, we shall to-morrow notice some particulars which we omitted before, but which we consider of importance to a proper national appreciation of Mr. CLARK. SON'S labours in the cause of humanity. The eighth anniversary of the Polish Revolution is to be commemorated to-morrow, at one o'clock, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Lord DUDLEY C. STUART in the chair. The meeting, so dear to every lover of freedom, will be attended by several of the most distinguished political characters of the day. The present aspect of affairs with Russia gives addi tional interest to this meeting. Her Majesty's Government have this morning re ceived despatches from Monte Video, announcing a revolution in Peru, having for its objects the dissolution of the Peru-Bolivian confederation, and the deposition of General SANTA CRUZ from the Protectorate. The first movement took place in Lima on the 29th of July, and was headed by Generals ORBEGOSO and NIETO, the former SANTA CRUZ'S Vicegerent in the North. The despatches were brought by the brig Fame in seventy days from Monte Video, having been conveyed in seventeen days from Lima overland to that port, which they reached the day before the sailing of the vessel. The Captain having received orders to for ward the despatches by the nearest Post-office, in or der to prevent any delay, posted them in Dublin, whence they were conveyed Express to Downing street. The following extract from a Buenos Ayres Journal of the 9th of September contains the only particulars which have yet transpired relative to this latest of the numerous revolutions which are constantly occurring in the South American States. No virtue on the part of a people can withstand the demoralizing effects of such perpetual appeals to arms against the operation of self-appointed government : Our peaceful city was thrown into considerable excitement, on Thursday evening l as t, b y t h e s i multaneous discharge of artillery from the fort, and the ringing of merry peals by the bells of all the churches, and later by the sound of festive music, and the letting off of fire-works in different quarters. It was soon ascertained that this unusual demonstration of re joicing was in consequence of important intelligence received by express from Chili, in 17 days. The Gaceta Mercantil of yesterday morning gives the full particulars. It appears that on the 29th of July a revolution took place in the capital of Lima, against General Santa Cruz, and what is more, was headed by his Vicegerent in the North, and former accomplice in the dismemberment of Peru, General Orbegoso, assisted by General Nieto and his division of 1,500 men, lately arrived from Huacho. The independence of Peru, the dissolution of the styled Peru-Bolivian Confederation, and the deposition of General Santa Cruz from the Protectorate, was solemnly pro claimed amidst the most emphatic demonstrations of public enthusiasm. The President Orbegoso then sent a flag of truce to Callao, demanding the submission of Generals Miller and Moran, who were stationed there with some 1,800 me n . Up to the 30th it was not k n o w n what determination they would take ; General Millar had closed himself in the Castle with 600 men, and General Moran, with 1,200, had gone to Chorillos. General Nieto, with a force of 2,000 superior troops, had in the mean time taken up a position between Lima and Callao. This movement is said to have been effected in concert with the Commander of the Chilian blockading squadron, Commodore Postigo. The expedition from Chili, which had been detai ne d b y calling at Coquimbo for the purpose of taking in some more infantry and horses, would, it was confidently expected, arrive off Callao at farthest on the 6th ult. Meanwhile General Santa Cruz was in Bolivia, busily employed in gathering money. The blockade of Buenos Ayres, and the whole of the Mexican coast, was continued with increased vigilance on the part of France. The Mexican authorities, however, manifested no disposition of being frightened into an accommodation. The inconvenience and in jury of the blockade to foreign merchants, and espe cially to British residents, was very great, notwith standing that they had no want of courtesy, as far as regarded themselves personally, to complain of on the part of the officers of the blockading squadron. The Times and the Post have published in Second Editions the following account of an insurrection at Seville, the particulars of which reached Lisbon on the 20th inst., and were conveyed by the Royal Tar steamer to Falmouth : " A revolution had broken out at Seville, and the General in command, San Llorente, narrowly escaped being murdered I The National Guard had assembled and established a Junta of Reprisalias, appointing a person named Fuentecilla their com mander, and the Financial Intendento, political chief. A message was then despatched to the Captain-General of the Province of the Andalusias, the Count de Cleonard, requiring his instant resignation, or a premium would be offered for his apprehension, dead or alive. The Count, without deigning to reply, immediately headed his troops against the place, and it is supposed would be joined by General San Llorente from Seville." So long as Spanish insurrections only endanger the lives of Spanish Governors and Generals, the Duke DE FRIAS and his colleagues will trouble themselves very little about them, provided they can command a majority in the Chambers. The Spanish Cabinet has neither the will nor the ability to give peace to the Peninsula ; and, what is still more more de plorable, materials for the composition of a really efficient and patriotic adminjgration are hardly to be found in the circle of Spiwish Legislators and Generals known in England. The only untried person from whom any thing good can be hoped is OLO ZAGA, who still appears to retain the confidence of the Liberal party. As a last remedy we should be glad to see a trial made of a i ts leadin g members.

It appears that very active preparations are going on there for the opening of the campaign ; also that an army of observation is being formed. Report says that the reinvestment of Herat has taken place, to which not much credit is due, as the intelligence received a few days since from Constantinople of the siege being raised, is of a later date. Consols have been during the morning 93/ 94 Money, for the Account 94 to i f. The Government Broker purchased this morning 15,000 Reduced, at 93/ ; and the Chancellor sold about the same sum.

EFFECT OF THE EAST ERLY WINDS.—LIVER poor,, TUESDAY.—Owing to the con ti nuance of easterly wind s , t h e detention of inward-bound vessels is very great. eco e ny sn by i It is reported that not fewer than 300 sail are now between this port and Cape Clear, unable to make way up to port. A Liverpool Correspondent of yesterday says--" It has blown a very severe gale from the eastward for the last 24 hours. The frost is intense." THE PUN MUSICAL.—Our musical readers are aware that the notes on the vocal scale are generally sung thus :—Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do. An old singing master, who was an inveterate punster, expected a friend of the name of Rae to call upon him ; on hearing a knock at his study door he cried " Who's there ?" " Me," said an acquaintance, as he walked in. " Me, indeed," said the punster, " I thought it was Re (Rae) ; but how are ye, my good So/ (soul)? Only La, la, I can Se (see) plain enuugh. Sit you down, Da ; how's your Fa"-ther ? he would have said, only he was seized with a fit of sneez ing just at the moment. The Churchwardens of St. Mary-le-Strand, accom panied by a number of respectable rate-payers and house holders belonging to this and the adjoining parishes, waited upon the Magistrates of Bow -street Office yesterday, and requested their interference in order to procure an altera tion in the route of the omnibuses which pass along the Strand on Sundays, during the hours of Divin e Service. It was stated that the noise occasioned by the passing of these vehicles was so great, that the Clergyman could scarcely make himself heard. A route was pointed out which would be free from any objection of the kind, but ultimately the inquiry was postponed for the attendance of Sir Frederick Roe, Mr. Twyford stating, however, that th ere could be no doubt the M ag i s t ra t es had power to change the route. The clickers and assistants of the master boat and shoemakers are following the example of the linendrapers, and have called a meeting at the Crown and Anchor to night, " to take into consideration the propriety of respect fully requesting the masters to close their shops at an earlier hour, in order to afford some slight relaxatio n from the many h ours o f em pl o y m ent." Mr. H awes, M.p., is to take the chair. The meeting does not commence till ten o'clock at ni g ht, p ro b a bly b ec ause the majority of the parties interested could not be present at an earlier hour. We understand that the action for assault and false imprisonment, brought by Mr. Richard Paternoster against the parties concerned in the outrage against him, will come on, in the ensuing term in the Common Pleas. 'Writs have been served on the following persons :—Mr. John Pater noster, his father; Mr. Thomas Wing, attorney, his brother in-law ; the Rev. John W. Worthington ; the certificating doctors,'Dr. Spurgind, and Mr. Dunn ; Mr. Scot, attorney to Mr. Paternoster, sen.; the Messrs. Finch and th e i r two keepers. Sergeant Wilda and Mr. The§iger are Counsel for the plaintiff. The Neptunus, Bull, has put into Tonsberg, leaky. The Ingeborg Margrete, Patterson, has put into Lyngoer with damage. The Pellhead, Welsford, from Hamburgh to Rostock, was lost near Gothenburgh—crew (except one) saved. The Hercules, from Flensby, put into Christiansand, with damage, and must discharge, b oun d t o St. Th omas ' s. The Johannes, Behrendt, from Pernam to Stettin, was stranded on the coast or Oesel, 8i h inst. The Cardina, Sindguish, fr,;m Gyle, and Norfolk, Curie, from Li val, were stranded on Magmisholm 14th and 15th instant—crew saved. The Eolus, Korm, hound to Bilboa, has put back to Aals sand with damage, and must discharge, hiving been on shore. The Zulieka, Scott, for Liverpool, put into Syra, after striking on some rocks, and discharging part of her cargo. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The contrary state of the wind keeps supplies back, and the arrivals of Grain to-day are very small, but there is a good quantity of Flour. Of English Wheat scarcely a sample was to be seen. In Foreign the same transactions having taken place at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance on Monday's terms. Barley, Beans, and Pease were nearly all cleared off last day. For Oats more money is again demanded, but there was not much doing in the trade. Flour varies between 68s. and 70a. for the top price. ARRIVALS Wheat English ,150 qrs. 4,5€0 qrs.

British Plantation Sugar sells stea dily to the Grocers at full prices. No public sales of Sugar to-day, and one only of Coffee consisting of 25 casks Jamaica, which sold at former rates. Cassia Lignea, 250 chests, part sold at the previous rates of from 51s. to 665. per cwt. Two very small parcels of Pepper and Nutmegs went at former prices. The stock of British Plantation Sugar is 36,904 hogsheads and tierces and 1,955 barrels ; Bengal 8.823 bags; Manilla, 69,835 bags; Mauritius, 67,632 bags; Havatinah, 16,111 boxes.

To-morrow we have public sales of 300 bags Bengal Sugar; 20 casks Jamaica Coffee ; and 1,000 bags Chiccory. The Rana Juwan Singh, Prince of Oodeypore, expired suddenly on the 30th August last. His death was followed by one of those horrid tragedies which, however encouraged by the spirit of the Hin doo religion, had, we thought, been effectually abolished by the enlightened humanity of the British Government. No less than eight females—whether self-immolated, or the victims of a hideous superstition —were burnt alive in the same flames that consumed the inanimate body of their husband the Rana. .It is stated that Sir Henry Fane is by no means satisfied with the position of affairs on the Goorkha frontier, and the almost total absence of any force able to cope with them, should they really descend from the mountain barrier of Nepaul. The following are further extracts : The Delhi Gazette of the sth inst. came in this morning. We understand there is every probability of the pay of the Irregular Cavalry Sowars, now raising for the service of Shah Shooja-001-moolk, being► increased, to put them on a better footing than the men of the Company's Local Horse. This is but fair, as they are about to proceed on foreign and distant service. The following artillery officers have been, we hear, warned for service, in Candahar and Cabul : Lieutenant Col. Graham ; Major Pew ; Captain Sanders, Garbett, Grant, Day, A Abbott, Backhouse, Lawrence, and J. Abbott; Doctor Mackinnon; Lieutenants Duncan, Lar kins, Mills, Cooper, Walker, Hutchinson, Dawes, Turner, Brougham, Green, and Master. It is our painful duty to announce the death of Captain Owen, of her Majesty's 31 Buffs, at Mussoorie, on the 28th ultimo. It appears that the Candharee Chiefs have not only de clared in favour of the Iranees, but that one of them, with nearly a thousand camel loads of provisions, actually joined the Persians before the late attack upon Herat. The Shah summoned Shah Kamran to surrender; but to so little pur pose that the latter said the aid aff,,rded by the Candaharee traitors to the invaders did noc affect him, and that he would settle the dispute with the sword ! This bold answer of the Heratee Chief led to the attack on the 26th of June, in re pelling which the Heratees are reported to have exhibited a courage and perseverance quite unlooked for. Since the re pulse of the Persians, the Shah is said to have made some overtures to Shah Kamran with the view of saving his own character and effecting peace ; which were indignantly and in very uncourteous language rejected by him of Herat. This information is satisfactory, as it affords ample justifica tion, were any needed, of the measures for aiding Shah Kam ran which our Government have adopted ; and also holds out some prospect to our gallant friends of becoming acquainted with the contents of the Candaharee Treasure Chests and Sundoogchees I Success attend them We understand that Government are causing Pierheads to be constructed at Ferozepore, and we conclude, therefore, that they intend sending down most of the military stores and sup plies to Shikarpore by water. The Nepalese are collecting near Bhoetoul, 65 miles north of Goruckpoor. The place is said to be untenable dur ing the present season, from its great insalubrity. Their Gene. ral, like " auld Beardie," has made a vow not to change his turban till he quaffs the waters of Goruckhnath ; his Dhobee is said to approve of this resolution, and anticipates a long holiday, It is to be wished he may get it I The regiment at Goruckpoor has been complete for some time. We hear they were obliged to dismiss above 200 aspirants, many very eligible recruits. The corps in and about Oude are said to be generally complete. Where the deuce do all the men come from? A letter from the westward says, " We have all been on the qui vice, expecting something to be done towards Joud pore ; but we now hear that all idea of a campaign in that quarter is knocked on the bead. 'Tis said that some crores of rupees, the ill-gotten wealth of Natbjee, have, on his re cent death, reverted to the Royal coffers of Maun Sing, and thus enabled the Rajah to pay the arrears of tribute to the British Government." COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) IMPORTANT TRIAL ON A WRIT OF RIGHT. DAVIS V. LOWNDES. This being the day appointed for the trial of this important cause, and considerable interest having been excited by the circumstance that vast estates in Buckinghamshire depend on the result, and that it i 6 the last writ of right which can be tried, the Court was very early crowded to excess. This form of trial, peculiar to the Court of Common Pleas, and one of the most ancient of our legal institutions, is one appointed to decide upon the right to real property, when claimed by two parties, termed the" tenant" (i. e. the holder), and the "demandant"(or claimant). The trial is conducted in the following manner :—F o ur " K n i g h ts " o f t h e county are selected, who are sworn in Court to choose twelve others— they are then called " Knights recognitors," and are sworn as the " Grand Assize," to try the question. The important distinction in the form of trial is that all the four Judges of the Court preside, as though sitting in Banco. About ten o'clock the Court, having taken their teats on the Bench, the Knights were sworn, previous to which, however, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were Sergeant WILDE, Mr. KELLY, and Mr. RICHARDS) for the tenant tendered to the Knights, according to ancient custom, " a demi mark" (7s. 6d. we believe.) Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, and Mr. V. WILLIAMS, were for the deinandant. The names of the Knights were— Sir Alexander Croke, Knight, of Studley Priory ; George Simon Harcourt, Esq., of Wyradsbury ; Robert Sutton, Esq., of Rossway ; George Parrott, Esq., of Buckingham, banker ; Thomas Raymond Barker, Esq., of Hambledon ; William Bonsey, Esq., of Upton-cum-Chalvey ; George Carrington, Esq., of Great Missenden ; Sir William Robert Clayton, Bart., of Harleyford ; Charles Clowes, Esq., of Delaford Park ; George Henry Dashivood, Esq., of West Wycombe : Philip Duncombe Pauncefort Duncombe, Esq., of Great Brickhill ; James Dupre, Esq., of Beaconsfield ; Robert Fox, Esq., of Wendover Lodge ; John Grubb, Esq., of Horsenden ; Robert Harvey, Esq., of Langley Marish ; William Jones, Esq., of Chalfont St. Giles ; George Lucas, Esq., of Newport Pagnel ; George Grenville Pigott, Esq., of Doddershall Pink ; John Stone, Esq., of Long Crendon ; Richard William Howard Howard Vyse, Esq., of Stoke Poges ; Benjamin Way, Esq., of Langley Marish ; Philip Wroughton, Esq., of lbstone House ; Sir William Lawrence Youn g , Bart., of Hughenden ; and Owen Wethered, Esq., of Great Marlow. Sir A. COOKE inquired if the " Knights"' expenses were not to be defrayed ? Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—I am afraid there is no provision for it ; however, this is the last trial of the kind that can take place. Mr. V. WILLIAMS, having on the part of the demand ant opened the case, stating that the writ was to recover possession of the Wavendon manor and estate in the county of Bucks, . _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, May it please your Lordships and Gentlemen of the Grand Assize —you have heard from the Lord Chief Justice that this is the last oc casion on which you or any other gentlemen of England can be assembled to serve on the trial of a writ of right. 1 COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.
